Hi John,
I haven't put in new batteries yet - but could it possibly be something else?
One thing I notice is that there is now a bright dash followed by two dimmer
dashes. This is the only OM4t I 've used and don't really have anything to
compare the viewfinder to except for the printed docs. Again - if I press the
spot button, the 'spot' indicator doesn't come on. If I press 'shadow', etc. -
it does! The small indicators above the shutter speeds do come on and the
camera beeps each time I press the spot button up to 8 times. The flash
indicator is quite dim - sometimes I can't see it at all.
Jim C.

"rebooting" the camera will not solve all your problems.

| If you have tried the reboot procedure in the faq and that does not
| help, your new batteries may not be fresh or your contacts dirty.
| Have you cleaned the battery contacts? You don't touch the batteries
| with your skin when you put them in, do you? The 357 batteries are
| probably better, but fresh MS76 should work fine at least for a while.
